Emma Hurst's Life

Improved Essays
I am Karly, Emma’s older sister. I will always remember that fateful night when Emma was hit by that car. She will surely be missed. Emma Hurst was born on November 25, 2002, and died on September 12, 2019. Her parents were Jennifer and Ryan Hurst. She had four siblings; Karly, Matthew, Austin, and Clara. Emma always complained to us that her childhood was boring, and that she wanted to do more things, but I think that as she got older, she realized that she often got to do things that other children seldom got to do.

Every possible time, she was playing
